Hand in certain position is shown in paper, daily (4)
I believe the answer is:
fist
'hand in certain position' is the definition.
'is shown in paper daily' is the wordplay.
'shown in' indicates putting letters inside.
'paper daily' becomes 'ft' (Financial Times).
'is' going within 'ft' is 'FIST'.
(Other definitions for fist that I've seen before include "Tightly-closed hand" , "Balled hand" , "or be decked in a ring" , "Hit with a clenched one" , "One may deck in a ring" .)
